Telemedicine Brief: Patients In The World Wide Waiting Room

COLD SPRING, N.Y., Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Telemedicine is replacing the waiting rooms of psychiatrists and psychologists. Patient demand for telepsychiatry appointments is unprecedented.

Telemedicine made headlines for bringing together patients in rural, remote geographies with medical experts in big cities and prestigious healthcare institutions. But now doctors are beginning to see how the benefits of online patient sessions can be realized right in their own backyards. Yes, telemedicine attracts new patients and eliminates geographic constraints. But it also improves the way doctors treat existing patients and, by doing so, improves the long-term viability of their practices.
